Saw these just now while browsing. Not sure what they are exactly. Just judging from the size, look and brand.....160 dollars seems be a fairly awesome price.

If it was a more than outstanding deal I might have to jump even though I dont have the extra cash....

purdy....don't see them in A-gon blue book though. Try audioreview and see what you see....

Will do. I know little to nothing about vintage....so looking for info is new to me.

*edit* After two days of searching, I could only find a review of the rs-325's on audioreview and a sale of the rs425s on ebay. I'm very curious about these and I don't know why....

I found this posted on a forum supposedly from the Orion audio bluebook. Not sure if the pricing is for each or a pair. Must be each. Doesn't mention the passive radiator. The post was from 2003 :rolleyes:

Hmm, doesn't sound as good as I figured they would be. Not a big deal though, just moving along. Haha.

They sure do look nice though.

Really??? Floor standers like these aren't falling off the audio truck every day for a buck and a half.Go take a listen,if you like,grab them.Choices are few for big ones at 160.00.

There were woofer problems with that series. Like Dionne Warwick said, "Walk on by ....."
